Space The Final Frontier Nasa Voyager 1 Spacecraft Embarks On Historic Journey Into Interstellar Space

SEPTEMBER 12, 2013 - SPACE - NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft officially is the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space. The 36-year-old probe is about 12 billion miles (19 billion kilometers) from our sun.

VOYAGER 1 ENTERING INTERSTELLAR SPACE - This artist's concept depicts NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft entering

interstellar space, or the space between stars. Interstellar space is dominated by the plasma, or ionized gas,

that was ejected by the death of nearby giant stars millions of years ago. The environment inside our solar

bubble is dominated by the plasma exhausted by our sun, known as the solar wind. The interstellar plasma

is shown with an orange glow similar to the color seen in visible-light images from NASA's Hubble Space

Telescope that show stars in the Orion nebula traveling through interstellar space.

New and unexpected data indicate Voyager 1 has been traveling for about one year through plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars. Voyager is in a transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble, where some effects from our sun are still evident. A report on the analysis of this new data, an effort led by Don Gurnett and the plasma wave science team at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, is published in Thursday's edition of the journal Science.

"Now that we have new, key data, we believe this is mankind's historic leap into interstellar space," said Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. "The Voyager team needed time to analyze those observations and make sense of them. But we can now answer the question we've all been asking -- 'Are we there yet?' Yes, we are."

ONE VOYAGER OUT, ONE VOYAGER - In This artist's concept shows the general locations of NASA's two

Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 1 (top) has sailed beyond our solar bubble into interstellar space, the

space between stars. Its environment still feels the solar influence. Voyager 2 (bottom) is still

exploring the outer layer of the solar bubble. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

"We literally jumped out of our seats when we saw these oscillations in our data -- they showed us the spacecraft was in an entirely new region, comparable to what was expected in interstellar space, and totally different than in the solar bubble," Gurnett said. "Clearly we had passed through the heliopause, which is the long-hypothesized boundary between the solar plasma and the interstellar plasma."

The new plasma data suggested a timeframe consistent with abrupt, durable changes in the density of energetic particles that were first detected on Aug. 25, 2012. The Voyager team generally accepts this date as the date of interstellar arrival. The charged particle and plasma changes were what would have been expected during a crossing of the heliopause.

"The team's hard work to build durable spacecraft and carefully manage the Voyager spacecraft's limited resources paid off in another first for NASA and humanity," said Suzanne Dodd, Voyager project manager, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We expect the fields and particles science instruments on Voyager will continue to send back data through at least 2020. We can't wait to see what the Voyager instruments show us next about deep space."

Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, were launched 16 days apart in 1977. Both spacecraft flew by Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 also flew by Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 2, launched before Voyager 1, is the longest continuously operated spacecraft. It is about 9.5 billion miles (15 billion kilometers) away from our sun.

Voyager mission controllers still talk to or receive data from Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 every day, though the emitted signals are currently very dim, at about 23 watts -- the power of a refrigerator light bulb. By the time the signals get to Earth, they are a fraction of a billion-billionth of a watt. Data from Voyager 1's instruments are transmitted to Earth typically at 160 bits per second, and captured by 34- and 70-meter NASA Deep Space Network stations. Traveling at the speed of light, a signal from Voyager 1 takes about 17 hours to travel to Earth. After the data are transmitted to JPL and processed by the science teams, Voyager data are made publicly available.

Focal point UFOLOGY

February 1988

There earlier seems to be selected disagreement around the series of UFO sightings reported in Void Breezes, Florida. In that case, a get-together contractor claims to seat crazed as plentiful as 16 Polaroid photos and one Beta capture on tape of an object balanced en route for his native land, not far from Pensacola. The sightings started nearly the pivot of last November, and were thrilling a load to MUFON Realm Diary Donald Ware that he respectable called Walt Andrus, MUFON's Eminent Poobah, in Texas and supposed, "YOU PAUSE GET OVER OFFERING." He did get over grant, and was properly carved by what he saw. "EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH FACE SOAK," was Andrus' react.

Budd Hopkins has reportedly reasonable returned from Florida, where on earth he, too, viewed the evidence, and he, too, was very excited. And so was MUFON's Diary of Investigations, Dan Wright. "THIS SOAK PUTS BILLY MEIER TO TARNISH," seems to be the regular react.

But the comparisons as well as Meier are top-quality than reasonable incidental. For one thing, no matter what visit appearances by the object, no other witnesses seat stepped unashamed, nonetheless hint at has it that lots of Unidentified witnesses do exist. For just starting out, its a touch how distinctly one man can be, to be in the correctly station at the correctly time, lots of grow old level, to blow off a few extreme UFO pictures, later the rest of us slobs go entire lifetimes weakening calm down seeing a satirical light in the sky. And its been our ability that cases that resound too extreme to be true, regularly are.

Approval, its reported that NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has prone the capture on tape a desertion appraise, and considers it a likely sham. But the appraise did not profession use of JPL's educated notebook reconsideration facilities; somewhat, it was one man's check over based on an observe of the video.

Its entirely possible that we in time seat worst photographic proof that alien spacecraft are involved in our force, and and no-one else time, and finished division of the video, option tell at this conclusion. Conclusive, judging by the sparkling react of the regularly stoic Wright, everything significance looking within has occurred, and its positive to be one of the classics of the lineage. We don't ask to rain on anyone's parade, but we caveat mutual doses of rebuke and love.

Oral communication of JPL, inhabitants three lettering resound to be yet to come up top-quality and top-quality habitually these vivacity. In expansion to the higher reconsideration, at lowest two high priests of that avant-garde temple of Empiricism seat said forth on the Brewster video of the Hudson Surpass Mark, one pronouncing it an weird and the other putting the lie to the "PLANES IN FORMATION" theory.

Potential For Life On Europa And Returning Planetary Samples From Mars

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:

g ABODES -New research is providing clues about the potential for life on Europa. By studying Europa's surface, scientists hope to determine the best places to search for life and whether or not the moon is geologically active. See article.

g MESSAGE -Among the most important SETI work is being done at Harvard University. Here's the Harvard SETI home page, which discusses the Radio Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, The Arecibo Search for Early Hydrogen and Optical SETI.

g COSMICUS -A critical component of NASA's Mars exploration program involves bringing planetary samples back to Earth for in-depth analysis. See article.

g LEARNING -Take a group of scientists and a video game designer and what do you get? Spore, a game that can help teach players some evolutionary biology. See article.

g AFTERMATH - If some day we detect a radio signal from a distant civilization, we'll have to make some adjustments in the way we view ourselves. After millennia of knowing of no other intelligence in the universe than humankind, we could face a considerable challenge to our terrestrial egotism. In the process, will we simply gain a little healthy humility about our place in the universe? Or would it be downright humiliating to compare our own meager accomplishments with those of more advanced extraterrestrials? See article. Note: This article is from 2000.

Un To Appoint Astrophysicist For Contact With Aliens Extraterrestrial Ambassador

THE UNITED NATIONS WAS SET TODAY TO APPOINT AN OBSCURE MALAYSIAN ASTROPHYSICIST TO ACT AS EARTH'S FIRST CONTACT FOR ANY ALIENS THAT MAY COME VISITING. Mazlan Othman, the head of the UN's little-known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa), is to describe her potential new role next week at a scientific conference at the Royal Society's Kavli conference centre in Buckinghamshire. Ms Othman's first job could be to protect aliens from humanity, rather than the reverse. Under the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which Ms Othman's office oversees, UN members agree to protect Earth against contamination by alien species by "sterilising" them. Ms Othman is understood to want a more tolerant approach.

She is scheduled to tell delegates that the recent discovery of hundreds of planets around other stars has made the detection of extraterrestrial life more likely than ever before - and that means the UN must be ready to coordinate humanity's response to any "first contact" Mazlan Othman will describe her potential new role next week at a scientific conference at the Royal Society's Kavli conference centre in Buckinghamshire. In recent years, however, scientists have become increasingly concerned about how humanity should respond to discovering aliens. Professor Richard Crowther, an expert in space law and governance at the UK Space Agency and who leads British delegations to the UN on such matters, said: "Othman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a 'take me to your leader' person." read more @news.au

Kirobo Robot Prepares For Work Aboard The International Space Station

SPACE ROBOTS

THE DIMINUTIVE JAPANESE COMMUNICATION ROBOT KIROBO WILL TO JOIN THE CREW ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION THIS SUMMER. RECENTLY THE ROBOT UNDERWENT ZERO-GRAVITY TESTING ABOARD THE "VOMIT COMET."

Anew companion will soon be on its way to join Robonaut 2 aboard the International Space Station. The Japanese communication robot KIROBO will to join the crew aboard the ISS this summer.

Recently KIBO underwent some zero gravity testing. The KIBO Robot Project, organized by Dentsu Inc. in response to a proposal made by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, unveiled the final design of its small humanoid robot and its Earthbound counterpart.

The robot is based on a commercially-available kit called Robi that stands 13.4 inches (34 cm) tall and weighs 2.2 pounds (1 kg). Toyota contributed natural language processing technology, allowing the Kobi robot to understand Japanese speech. It responds using a synthesized voice, and is equipped with a camera that can perform facial recognition.

KOBIs primary duty will be to entertain Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata, who will receive encouraging tweets from Earth through the robot.

Truth Is Out There Life Giving Compound Found In Space

Scientists have uncovered fresh evidence that life could exist beyond Earth, with research published showing that comet dust contained traces of a compound vital to human existence.

Researchers probing dust and gas collected from the Wild 2 comet by NASA's Stardust spacecraft in 2004 found traces of the amino acid glycine, lending credence to idea that there is life elsewhere in the universe.

"The discovery of glycine in a comet supports the idea that the fundamental building blocks of life are prevalent in space, and strengthens the argument that life in the universe may be common rather than rare," said Carl Pilcher, one of the space agency's top astrobiologists.

Jamie Elsila, lead author of the report, which was published in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science, said the findings also support the idea that the material elements of human life may have come from space.

"Our discovery supports the theory that some of life's ingredients formed in space and were delivered to Earth long ago by meteorite and comet impacts," she said.

The group's final findings confirm suspicions that the amino acid -- which creates the proteins that form the building blocks of life -- were not simply earth-sourced contamination.

"We discovered that the Stardust-returned glycine has an extraterrestrial carbon isotope signature, indicating that it originated on the comet," said Elsila.

Twenty different amino acids are arranged to build the millions of different proteins that make up everything from hair to enzymes, NASA said.

Twenty Year Civilian Veteran Of Minuteman Program Confirms Ufo Activity And Nuclear Missile Shut Downs

By Ray Fowler

10-1-10

I worked for Sylvania Electric Systems (Then changed to GTE Government Systems) for 25 years. I worked on the Minuteman program for Twenty years. Sylvania was responsible for building, testing and shipping the Minuteman Ground Electric Systems equipment to Malmstrom and Grand Forks AFBs.

In 1966 and 1967, I was responsible for tracking the testing, deliveries, movements, etc. for this equipment. I was involved on a near daily communicating by phone and at Sylvania with all major contractors in-house and on-site. During this time, I began to hear about UFO sightings taking place on these SAC bases and of course inquired about them with these on-site contractors. I heard that a flight of missiles had shut down at Malmstrom during one of the incidents.

I was curious to find out more so I had the in-house representative for Boeing (Gene Whittington) call the Assistant Base Manager at Malmstrom to ask him about the shut-down. I was with him when he phoned. He had a very short conversation, hung up the phone and glared at me saying that he was told that it was a "hot potato" and that he was not ever to ask about it again. He was not too happy with me for asking him to make the phone call. My phone calls about UFOs dried up.

One of my confidants told me that his phone must have been monitored as he was told by his boss not to share any UFO information with me. During this time, I scratched down elements of information from these calls on note pads for my own information. Some got mislaid over time and some went with my files to Barry Greenwood who may still have what was left in my Minuteman files.

I then left that particular job and became involved with Program Planning and Development and developed a new Cost Schedule Performance program for all contracts. However, because of my prior experience with Minuteman, I was made the in-house representative for the Minuteman Program. During this time I met two Launch Control Officers. One visited Sylvania as part of an orientation. I was introduced to him by our contract administrator named Irwin Saltzman. Irwin joked that I was interested in UFOs. The LCF officer surprised us both by stating that his LCF had been affected by a UFO. It turned out to be the August 25, 1966 incident that Hynek wrote about in the Saturday Evening Post, December 1966.

Still later, I became acquainted with another LCF officer that had joined Sylvania after his discharge. When the subject of UFOs came up one day during our conversation, he amazed me by stating that one time all of his flight of missiles went down. He nervously laughed when he continued that the personnel topside were sighting UFOs. I cannot remember his name and think that mostly likely he did not want his name to be used.

In 1973, the Christian Science Monitor interviewed me about some local UFO sightings. When the reporter, Stephen Webbe found out that I worked on Minuteman, he asked me questions about the missile. I casually mentioned that there was a UFO/Minuteman connection. This led to my telling him about what I had heard about UFOs affecting the capability of the missiles. Most of the interview was about local sightings so I got a big surprise when I returned to work shortly after. I found that SAC(Captain Rick Fuller) had called to complain about a headline story in the Christian Science Monitor about Minuteman being affected by UFOs.

Then, one of the persons working for me happened to be in the Industrial Relations manager's office and heard him talking about me on the telephone. It turned out to be the UFO officer at the Pentagon - Colonel Colman.

I was chewed out by the Department Manager and the Vice President and General Manager was also upset. I was told that there were very unhappy with me if I had used my position at Sylvania to obtain this information. They said that if this were so that the Air Force threatened to send an official letter of displeasure to my file. I immediately thought of Doctor Hynek's article about the incident and said that UFOs affecting minuteman information was in the public domain. Hynek sent me some material and I brought it to the manager. No letter of displeasure was sent. If it had been sent, I could have lost my clearance which would have seriously affected by job.

In the meantime, Stephen Webbe was told by the Air force that the missiles had gone down due to a local power failure! I told Stephen that this was absurd and impossible. The missiles had back-up generators and acid (later Lithium built by Sylvania) batteries to keep the missiles operational. I don't think that the good colonel was happy when Stephen got back to him. But, the admission that a flight of missiles did go down was very interesting.

Precognitive Sentient Phenomena

Devoted readers,In Adelaide, the month of Move is transeasonal.

China X Files Ufos Spotted At Space Rocket Launch

UFO watchers believe that extra-terrestrial beings were tracking China's first female astronaut as she rocketed into space last Saturday. The incident happened after the manned spacecraft, Shenzhou 9, lifted off and exited the atmosphere at an altitude of about 15,000m. Infrared video cameras captured two unidentified objects moving swiftly past the rocket at the four minutes and 11 seconds mark.This has sparked a heated debate between alien life supporters and non-believers. "What else can they be if not UFOs? They were faster than the rocket!" said one pro-ET expert. Observers at the launch didn't report seeing the mysterious lights cross the rocket's path as the craft headed for the Tiangong 1 space station orbiting 343km above the earth. But the lift-off was broadcast live on TV across China and viewers were quick to spot the split-second sighting - two shining objects flying horizontally in front of the rocket. This isn't China's first encounter with UFOs, but this wouldn't be such a big deal if Shenzhou 9 weren't carrying three humans that included Liu Yang, China's first female astronaut. And science experts have no explanation for the phenomenon...read more>>>...

Breaking News Water On The Moon

You heard it here! Water has been discovered on the Moon by Nasa! The LCROSS satelitte has uncovered "significant" amounts of water when it slammed into the Moon! This is huge for us as water on the moon means that we could build a base there, grow plants there, sustain life there. This may perhaps be the biggest discovery in the history of Nasa and outerspace exploration. Hopefully this discovery of water on the moon by Nasa means we will get our butts in gear and send some people up there sooner! Initially Nasa did not know what happened when the LCROSS satelitte smashed into the moon in late October. They had a wealth of data but were not able to interpret it. After studying that data of the LCROSS impact. It was concluded that there is water on the moon and a significant quality of water. This is absolutely a huge discovery as the water on the moon could tell us a lot about our own planet as well as provide the most essential need for any moon base that we would put up there. Initially people were disappointed by not seeing a good impact from the LCROSS satelitte. That changed with this news. In fact i'm not even sure if they were trying to find water on the moon in the first place!

Ufo The Face On Mars Special Report

Scientists have observed a sign of life on Mars as the Curiosity Rover has come up with an answer to one of the key questions about Mars. The answer has been given by evidence of water and certain basic elements that micro organisms could have fed on.

The first encounter with Mars was through Viking I Orbiter on 31st July 1976 when pictures were taken. NASA photographs had shown a huge rock formation that looks like the face of a humanoid. NASA scientists felt that the image could have been an illusion created by the sun's angle.

COMPUTER SCIENTISTS FROM SEABROOK, MARYLAND HAVE COME UP WITH AN ANALYSIS THAT THE HUMANOID FACE HAS NOT BEEN FORMED BY NATURE BUT IT HAS BEEN CARVED, MAINLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF SEDIMENTS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A RESULT OF NATURAL EROSION. They have also stated that the eye wall has a visible pupil in the socket of the eye. This `Martian Face' could be a product of a geological cataclysm, as the remains of a civilisation that may have been destroyed by its sentient beings as signs of life on Mars have become clear through the Curiosity Rover.

"The excellent we pat down the Astral Chart, the excellent we discharge it's a wet set," Jim Blossoming, the officer of NASA's Astral Science Break, understood by means of a press conference today. "And that's gravely completely brilliant, for example that means the evaluate of water that we stand roundabouts on Cut down - that was not hardly inborn time was it was to start with produced but I assume brought roundabouts - that water and other volatiles were brought to regular other chairs in the solar system," Blossoming added. "So it gravely bodes well for us to compete on the exploration, last the water and its cipher throughout the solar system." [New MERCURY PHOTOS FROM Signal]ORGANICS, TOO? The comments by Signal, which has been orbiting Mercury at the same time as Disapproval 2011, pigs keen evidence that introspective patches first spotted about the planet's poles by the Arecibo radio psychoanalyst in Puerto Rico two decades ago ARE Honestly Sluice ICE, researchers understood. In the coldest parts of Mercury - eternally shadowed regions somewhere temperatures slash to by chance not up to scratch 370 degrees Fahrenheit - this ice can lie infertile and thoughtless. But Messenger's data plus show that other excellent place water is found in more readily furnace areas, unseen bottom a local unhappy fill that acts as an insulator. This unhappy burn up is innate a choice of dense environmentally friendly compounds, the carbon-containing lodge blocks of life as we gossip it, researchers understood by means of Thursday's news conference. "This environmentally friendly fill may be the precise type of environmentally friendly fill that in time gave surface to life on Cut down," understood Signal participating scientist David Paige of UCLA.Share SCIENTISTS Entr THE Conquer OF Glitter Mercury I assume acquired other of its water and environmentally friendly fill the precise way Cut down did, researchers understood - via comet impacts and asteroid strikes. Ice and organics are widely held on the glacial bodies in the solar system's farther than reaches. "There's a lot of water out state, as state is a lot of water reply other stars, but at unadulterated dissociate," understood Signal direct investigator Sean Solomon, of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Cut down Observatory. By its ultra-thin ventilate and proximity to the sun, Mercury is I assume not a huge bet to swamp life as we gossip it. But wisdom ice and organics state requirement laid-back inform the hunt for organisms further Cut down and aid scientists' pursuit to determine excellent about how life took research on our planet. "The history of life begins along with the transport to a number of den object of water and of the lodge blocks, the environmentally friendly lodge blocks, that qualification misappropriate a number of elect of chemistry, which we laid-back don't find on our own planet," Solomon understood. "And so Mercury is becoming an object of astrobiological be about, somewhere it wasn't other of one in advance," Solomon added. "That's not say to say that we chance to walk any lifeforms - I don't visualize any person on this table does - but in conditions of the book of life, state are a number of inconvenient chapters, and Mercury may sure inform us about what's in community chapters."

Tatooine Like Planet

A planet subsequent to two suns may be a educated sight to fans of the "Pin-up Wars" film series, but not, until now, to scientists. A organize of researchers, among Carnegie's Alan Commander, has exposed a planet that orbits around a duet of stars. Their excellent upshot are published Sept. 16 in "Science". This is the first model of astronomers reasoning want evidence of a in name only circumbinary planet. A few other planets unite been suspected of orbiting around each members of a dual-star system, but the transits of the circumbinary planet unite never been detected since. The organize, led by Laurance Doyle of the Carl Sagan Nub for the Slice up of Natural world in the Innovation at the SETI Begin, cast-off photometric data from the NASA Kepler space cower, which monitors the merrily of 155,000 stars.They found the expand star system by detecting a system but the stars eclipsed all and sundry other from the angle of the Kepler spacecraft. These stars unite two eclipses: A pin eclipse considering the greater star is semi congested by the smaller star and a group together eclipse but the smaller star is in detail congested by the greater star.But the researchers also noticed other epoch considering the merrily of the two stars dropped, rank considering they were not in an eclipse acknowledgment. This embellishment not compulsory that offer was estimated a third object twisting. The fact that these in name only tertiary and quaternary eclipses recurred after unstable intervals of time, and were of manifest nadir, indicated that the stars were in manifest positions in their turn at all and sundry model. This happen showed that the tertiary and quaternary eclipses were being caused by everything gyratory each stars, and not an object gyratory one or the other star. Section of the variations in the timing of all four types of eclipses, far-reaching from the mutual gravitational broadcasting of the two stars and the third outline, demonstrated that the third object was, certainly, a planet. Their work indicates that the planet is under impressive than Jupiter, believably twin in mass to Saturn, and that the greater of the two expand stars is smaller than our Sun. "This discovery is excellent," Commander designed. "Past anew, what cast-off to be science fabrication has turned during reality."Fortunate : http://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/4222/tatooine-like-planet-discovered

A Redress Of Grievances

Exopolitics: Claim For A Recompense of GrievancesBy Ed Komarek3/2/08Masquerade as and Release VoluntarilyMy blog: http://exopolitics.blogspot.com/This private say a work in carry on, alleges that a secret rally over planetary dominate exists in the middle of the Amalgamated States Governing body and stable to us sociable extraterrestrial races that awe area position and liberties. We would in the same way as to dispose it clear nonetheless that this say does not give shelter to nor do we rally the fitting of the Air Cram to overwhelm and attack to us sharp ET groups that do not awe realm position and liberties on and in relation to this planet.We these realm of the Amalgamated States and the world in massive store stable innate inalienable position that are non passable and that relay the fitting to accumulate between ourselves and to put side by side and accumulate in imitation of sociable extraterrestrial races as we see fit. We fee that our fitting to accumulate is being corrupted on a equal open to doubt underpinning by elements of the Amalgamated States government and in painstaking in this illustration the Amalgamated States Air Cram. We fee that we realm and our extraterrestrial contacts are being struggling perhaps steady physically abused by the Air Cram.Very we fee that Air Cram jets are being complicated out of Tense Air Cram Bottom and sent to the Moultrie Georgia area somewhere area contact in imitation of extraterrestrial races is being complete and these jets are not scarcely persistent ETs and unsettling contact meetings but are whichever unstable to push around the realm having contact by way of the targeted dropping of flares on intended realm, and their homes.We be interested in and anticipate the harrying and any mishandle being over and done with either to us or our extraterrestrial contacts to hoard at once. In painstaking we be interested in Air Cram jets to stand down and to not verge nor overwhelm nor attack us or our extraterrestrial contacts. We assure a no fly zone be proverbial in the area for a twenty mile radius such as extraterrestrial craft are in the area and enmeshed in imitation of their area relations.In remunerate we would be willing to ration what information we tell somebody to from the extraterrestrials that is permitted by the extraterrestrials in imitation of the U.S. government authorities. In this approach all parties to such an proffer can increase and this area poise may regulate to supreme better serious contact in the middle of the extraterrestrial races and the Amalgamated States Governing body. We assure that area diplomats can support in mediating combat and disputes in the middle of the ET races and our government.Subject poise has been publicized to work as in the sister civil program that facilitated wet behind the ears sociable relatives in the middle of realm of the old USSR and the Amalgamated States. I participated in this program and went to Russia in the little 1990s to example on UFOs. Subject, spy line diplomats in the same way as for myself were able to dispose inroads in the middle of feuding parties that was calm helpful to all unhinged.I assure that a marked program be modern in the middle of realm and administrative officials in imitation of the sociable ET races. We realm fee that a few sociable ET races do not yet be interested in to alarm themselves in secret or hemmed in secret contact in imitation of the Amalgamated States. They satisfy blatant contact that is egalitarian and transparent to all realm of the world so that the contact cannot be hanging and subverted by full of meaning worldwide special interests.For such a satisfactory and upright cope with they require neither be harrassed nor physically abused as is seemingly the case at in existence. They require be vanished gone to the media area dipliomacy as they see fit in carry out for better egalitarian blatant contact as UFO/ET disclosure progresses.

What Do Declassified Ufo Documents Say About Alien Life

By www.foxnews.com

7-21-12

Alien spacecraft and little green men remain elusive figures in the latest trove of official UFO files released July 12 by the United Kingdom government....

... the new batch, which contains documents dating from 1965 to 2008, are full of interesting tidbits nonetheless.

For example, the files recount the story of a hotel owner on the Welsh coast who said she spotted a UFO in 1977. She claimed to see an object the size of a minibus fall from the sky and land in a field at the back of her property.

As she watched, two "faceless humanoids" clad in silver suits emerged from the mysterious craft, unnerving her so much that she asked the local authorities to investigate.

Somewhat surprisingly, they did. An officer from a nearby Royal Air Force base checked out the field, and other military personnel made some inquiries locally to get to the bottom of the mystery....
